Executive Assistant to the Founders

Margaux•New York, NY

3h•$70,000 - $80,000•Onsite

About The Position

Margaux was founded on a simple idea: that the things we wear every day deserve to be made beautifully, fit perfectly, and last. What started as a made-to-order shoe brand has grown into a community of women who care deeply about craft, design, and the small details that make a life feel considered. We're a small team in New York at a genuinely interesting moment - our foundation is really solid, and now we're focused on building upon it. We're hiring an Executive Assistant who'll work directly with the people driving this next chapter. You'll be the right hand to two of our leaders - the person who makes sure their time is spent on what matters, that nothing falls through the cracks, and that the day-to-day rhythm of the business runs with the same care we put into our product. You'll have exposure to every part of the business, and the chance to shape how a fast-growing company actually operates. We will trust you with a lot; and in return, you'll have visibility into every corner of a growing company.

Communicate clearly and beautifully - in writing, in person, and in the way you read a room and respond to what's actually needed
Warm with people and rigorous with details
Fluent in the tools (Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, Shopify, Greenhouse, Justworks - or you are open to learning the ins and outs of using them well)
Quick on your feet, creative under pressure, and the kind of person who surfaces a problem along with a solution
